Almond Encrusted Chicken with Lemon Yogurt Sauce

Looking for something tasty and nutritious for dinner tonight? Try this almond crusted chicken recipe with fresh yogurt lemon sauce. Did you know that the almond is technically the seed of the fruit of the almond tree, a medium-size tree that bears fragrant pink and white flowers? Like its cousins, the peach, cherry and apricot trees, the almond tree bears fruit with stone-like seeds (or pits) within. The seed of the almond fruit is what we refer to as the almond nut. Almonds are as wonderfully nutritious as they are versatile, containing high amounts of manganese, Vitamin E and magnesium. A handful of almonds makes a great snack or you can use almonds in a number of recipes as seen here. Enjoy!

Whisk egg white, rosemary, water, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Dip the chicken breast into the egg mixture and dredge in almonds. For a little more spice, throw some red pepper flakes into the mix or other dried or fresh herbs, like mint or basil, for a punch of flavor!
